"I must admit the new wall is marvellous, beautiful", was an opinion voiced to Queen Elizabeth about the bastioned fortifications in 1568... before condemning them as badly designed and a waste of money! On this historic walk Jim Herbert takes you on a journey amongst the northern medieval defences of Berwick that actually saw some action in the Anglo-Scottish wars and bear witness to the changes in technology from the earliest ditch defence to the 16th century bastions.
